Did Dave King honestly say there would be a “forensic investigation” before newco, under his control, would repay Mike Ashley’s £10m loan? This, before the second tranche of the loan, which the club will need to meet payroll, is paid, and while Ashley could acquire an array of property and IP assets by simply not transferring the money when expected.
Unnecessarily provoking the source of short-term finance your club is dependent on is a bizarre tactic.
If it is indeed “the end” for the current newco board, as King promises, said board have a matter of weeks to secure whatever assets they can for those who have previously invested in the club and provided loans.
The crux of King’s comments are reported as:
“Would we pay [Ashley] immediately, I don’t think so no. We would complete a forensic investigation.
“If David Somers’ indication is correct that there has been some malfeasance then it is possible that the club would have a claim then I would attach the money and make a claim.
“If any individuals behaved improperly then it is important that they are held accountable.”
There’s a scene in Pulp Fiction when an unfortunate predator, “Z”, is informed that some African Americans are about to “Get medieval on his ass”. We don’t get to see what this means but stay tuned, between now and the EGM, Mike Ashley might just provide a demonstration of what Tarantino had in mind.
Remember, Ashley is not at Ibrox because he fancies being the next David Murray. He is not interested in the godforsaken world of having to run a football club in Glasgow, he’s happy to allow others to carry this burden.
He may well allow King to ‘win’ the EGM, but the spoils of victory will be very much on his terms. Trying hard not to imagine Paul Murray in a leather mask now.
Today is World Cancer Day. This disease has taken too many from the blog already, not to mention millions across the globe. There is a lot of good news, though. Progress is being made, but many in the developing world need access to simple preventative treatments, methodologies and information.
The preventative message still needs to get through to a great many in the developing world, before it’s too late. Here’s a video outlining where the battle is at the moment:

SofTUnis -wil check it out. It may help to break me out of my current T.Swift fixation.
Just saw ‘The Kingster’ on the news there – not so much answering questions as directing actions towards the SFA and how they’ll deal with him…
Ogilvie & Him? They’d be able to point to more skeletons than you could shake a stick at…
Parcel of rogues
The hunguffery with regards to Dave will get ato a whole new level now.
We’ve seen and heard from the Rogues in Brogues………
………let’s be hearin’ from the Blazers now.

“Monkeys died chasing Lions”

I’ll see your ‘dignity of monkeys’
and raise you a
‘pride of Lions’ :)
A young Robert de Niro in Mean Streets dancing to Smokey Robinsons Mickys Monkey………brilliant…..
If the ‘whiter than white’ lyin’ King attempts to play the Witchfinder General and starts getting “medieval” with Big Mike’s big erse – it could trigger a direct (un)sporting response, from the ‘big man’, with all sorts of reprisals being unleashed from his ample, and oft flashed, cleavage – then we will see who is wearing the trousers.
Have now forensically examined the game….Did anyone else notice that when KC scores and Broonie is on the deck Capt McElbows appears to kick back at Broonie on the ground…well that’s how it looks to me.
Also in the second have when LG narrowly misses with a free-kick McElbows isn’t even looking at the ball and simply runs at Scarlett blocking him off from following up on any possible rebound of their keeper.
The man is a total disgrace and needs Bobo’d

SofTunis- have purchased said disc with the ole record token I got for my birthday.
Paul Murray & Bomber Brown in Sarti’s 5 mins ago deep in conversation. I tried to listen in, all I could pick up was “we need to make sure that journalists understand…”
If Bomber Brown is running your PR strategy then you’ve got problems!
DBBIA.
Colleen Rennison also sings with a Vancouver band called – No Sinner..
Again – well worth a twirl.
Weet weet weet,
Have you got a licence for that minkey??

How could there be a “truth and reconciliation” forum, when the proposer is “a glib and shameless liar”?

Rowley b,
I have no problem with dirty players. I’ve no problem with divers.
But something I do abhor is the diving hard man. ie mcculloch.
He tries to dish it out but howls, screams and throws himself about when anyone goes near him.
I was as close as you could be when he done Kayal. He knew he had done him and started to howl and roll about. Injury seemed to ease when he wasn’t given his marching orders.
A scumbag of a man imo.
Murdo MacLeod :(((
Mickey’s Monkey .
A fine choon .
It is also on the soundtrack of a great mid 60s Movie – Nothing But A Man . – a searing exploration of what it was like to be black in the Land of The Free..

That’s all a bit depressing.
It occurs to me though that we’ve all got to go sometime*, and we’ve all got to die of something.
So, is there any info at what age people are being diagnosed, and what age they’re dying?
Is it possible that the incidence is increasing because we’re all living longer?
*Obviously I’m talking about natural persons here, not football clubs.
Paul Murray & Bomber Brown were in Sarti’s 10 mins ago deep in conversation. Tried to listen in but all I could hear was “we need to make sure journalists understand…”

Sorry for repeated post – couldn’t see last one!
Ole Bomber disappointed that his order of pomegranate was below par.
‘Where’s the seeds?’
Ernie…,
I’m putting it down to additives in the food. And pollution
Bomber’s full sentence…
‘… we need to make sure journalists understand the speeches I’m proclaimizing when I’m speaking it out my mouth in the English.’
Dbia,
And someone served his soup without a roll.
“Where’s the breed!!?”

BMCUW – ALL great teams had 3/4 very pacey players – Real = Gento & Canario to name two – but the stars were Puskas and Di Stefano, I was quicker than them.
Kris is a top player and a good guy, with corker of a wife and a beautiful family – he ‘gets’ Celtic and so we should ‘get him’

Agree with others on this forum. CQN has to stop it’s almost daily obsession about “the other club.” I get that the SMSM needs to have an opposing voice, but we need to refocus our attention and provide more commentary on our own Club. What’s happening for instance with regards Commons, Tonev, Wakaso, our various loaners? What about the SFA guaranteeing a better Hampden pitch for the LCF? What’s Peter Lawell been up to since being elevated to his role at the SFA? There are numerous topics that are of more interest to me and many others than the subject of today’s blog. I love CQN and he quality of the writing is second to none. I just wish we would talk about our Club and the Clubs around us in the SPFL, Inter Milan and in general what if any talks are looming around restructuring our game at the club level across Europe.

On the subject of beer in the 60’s, I remember a fabulous pint of Campbell, Hope and King’s Heavy. Nearest thing to Celtic in a glass, brilliant
